There IS A Proper Way To Do History

Among Richard Carrier's skills is the ability to communicate what is involved with the Historical Method:

• "Historical method is the collection of techniques and guidelines that historians use to research and write histories of the past. Primary sources and other evidence including those from archaeology are used.

• "In the philosophy of history, the question of the nature, and the possibility, of a sound historical method is raised within the sub-field of epistemology. The study of historical method and of different ways of writing history is known as historiography."

This hour-long presentation delves into the subject in a logical and understandable manner:
